The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is further delaying the start date of rules related to the "NIH Police Records," a new Privacy Act system managed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Initially set to take effect on February 18, 2025, these rules were delayed to March 21, 2025, following a Presidential directive. This notice extends the delay until May 5, 2025. The delay ensures these rules comply with a Presidential order to review new regulations before they become active.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Health and Human Services is pushing back the date when new rules for keeping police records safe at the National Institutes of Health will start, so more time is allowed to check these rules. They are making sure everything is okay before actually using them by moving the start date to May 5, 2025.
